Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 396: Troubles resolved? First contact against Intents.

After observing the pill for a while, the old woman stopped speaking. One of the people who arrived with her asked without bothering to cover their conversation. "Elder Mu, are you really going to ignore what they are doing?"

Elder My lifted her eyebrow and said. "What's wrong with it? You already know how precious are low-level Heaven-ranked pills. This pill is enough to compensate for most damage they've done to us. Moreover, this pill has an incredible purity of eighty-five percent."

The sword-riding Elder snorted. "As if material wealth is something we care about. This is about respect for their elders. If we tell them to stop, they should stop."

Cecile interrupted while listening from below.

Her tone was calm and neither servile nor overbearing. "Elder, to be frank, although we are a recent power, we are not afraid of your sects. While living in a single place may be difficult, unless your sect masters come personally to deal with us, we are confident in escaping your pursuits. My companion has used that pill to show our sincerity, but you should understand that we don't fear you."

Then, before the elders could speak, Cecile spread her bloodline pressure toward the surroundings. She allowed it to run rampant and didn't hold back one bit.

All beast-related creatures felt a wave of invisible pressure surrounding their bodies, their faces changing instantly.

Moreover, because of the [Void Soul Purifying Tear], the item Cecile obtained in the middle of the Phoenix Lake and swallowed not long ago, her soul had constantly increased in strength. contemporary romance

Her soul wasn't the only benefiting thing. Her bloodline became more potent too, and the influence more significant.

The Elders, who were arrogant before, were shocked. "You... What kind of bloodline is that? I've never felt something like this!"

Cecile didn't answer and restrained her aura. "I hope to create good relationships with the elders. What do you think?"

The elders couldn't help but become thoughtful. Cecile had done what she did because she had seen that Bloodline Level is a highly effective and versatile tool in the Distancia Continent.

Their strong auras allow them to bluff much more convincingly and better than if they used words.

Even this time, it worked as intended. The thought that someone with such a powerful bloodline and cultivation level could be a rogue cultivator was ridiculous in most people's eyes.

An elegant veiled woman with pointy ears standing on a flying flute said with a tinge of interest. "Well, you've proven yourself. You have resources and influence. We won't be unreasonable. However, we need at least an explanation to understand what is happening."

Before they could answer, another robust tigerkin riding a hammer said with a snort. "A single pill is not enough for this old man. Who knows if that pill is just a treasure lying around in your spatial rings."

Andrea grinned, throwing a jagged, dark, one-handed sword to the sky.

The hammer-riding Elder flashed before the sword when it appeared before them. A single look and he could tell that it was a high-level treasure.

After the sword fell into his hands and he analyzed its level, his eyes couldn't help but widen. "A mid-level Heaven-ranked sword!? Hmm... This sword is interesting. The energy circulation is different than usual. Also, which materials are these? I've never seen some of them..."

Hearing the murmurs of the Elder, the others looked at the opaque rune dome with deep eyes. 'They are not simple.'

Andrea's deep voice reached their ears. "A single pill is not much. How about when we include that sword? It's nothing much, but It should be sufficient."

The girls heard the Elder and frowned. 'A mid-level heaven sword? That's not something we have plenty of... What is Andrea thinking?'

However, they didn't interrupt, placing their confidence in her.

Their eyes changed, and they became even more interested in this group. The flute-riding woman said. "Astral Sky Clan, right? It seems that you are not simple. Even if this is a bluff, the fact that you have the mentality to let go of a treasure of this level is enough to gain my admiration. I won't interfere in this matter anymore. Remember to visit my house. I'll send a person to invite you soon."

Then, the woman disappeared into the distance.

Elder Mu, the alchemist, also said similar words and flew out.

The hammer-riding Elder looked at the other two and said. "You two, don't be stubborn. Don't young beasts making progress and becoming more powerful fill you with good feelings? They've got guts, resources, moderate strength, and good intentions. Either way, our losses won't cross a Hundred high-level Parus. That's not even pocket money for your grandchildren."

Then, this man left, disappearing into the distance.

The sword-riding Elder looked at them and asked. "How much time do you need to complete whatever you are doing?"

Kali said. "Not more than a day. Moreover, the absorption potency will start diminishing in an hour or so."

The last Elder, a violet-robed man standing on a giant blue eagle, said. "Elder Huo, it isn't worth it offending them for this. Although we don't fear any power, we should not be too unreasonable. The absorption can only damage things of the mortal and low-level spirit rank at most."

The sword-riding Elder snorted. "It won't affect any of you, that I know. However, I don't know when our sects became so tolerant."

The other man tapped the eagle with his foot and said. "Well, let's resolve it later. We can always follow Elder Song's lead and invite them for an afternoon."

Then, the eagle soared toward another part of the City.

Elder Huo looked down and said. "Resist one attack of mine. Then I'll also retreat."

When he finished speaking, he saw a silver-armored woman appear on top of the Dome. She had full-body armor and tall stature, holding an imposing halberd and giving a powerful aura.

Andrea said calmly. "Elder, whenever you are ready."

The sword below Elder Huo appeared on his hand, and then he aimed toward Andrea.

A mysterious aura enveloped his body, making Tatyana's face change. 'Andrea, be careful. He has [Sword Intent].'

Andrea's face became serious, and she didn't dare underestimate him.

In an instant, her aura burst out, sharply increasing the temperature around her. Then, molten metal covered her entire body, encasing her in the [Chromosphere].

Then, she buffed herself with plenty of skills. [Mental Enhancement], [Solar Skin], and a new skill called [Searing Sun Mantle], which increased the temperature and hardened all the molten metal around her.

Elder Huo said. "You have some ability, but I must remind you that my sword is not simple. Prepared or not, take this!"

Elder Huo drew his sword from the sheath, and the pressure from the attack was like a mountain pressing down.

Andrea's eyes became solemn as she chanted aloud. "[Molten Shield], [Molten Wall], [Solar Flash Spear]."

When Elder Huo finished drawing the sword, a powerful and invisible crescent rushed toward Andrea together with a sword howl.

The air was cut apart as it approached Andrea at extremely high speeds.

The golden spears Andrea sent toward it exploded, slightly weakening the attack but unable to change its pace.

Then, the attack hit the first of the four defenses set up by Andrea. [Chromosphere] allowed her to duplicate [Molten Wall] and [Molten Shield], hence the quadruple barrier.

Andrea knew that this wouldn't be enough.

Therefore, she clutched the halberd with her two hands, and the tip of the spearhead of the weapon lit up with a small bright red flame.

The invisible crescent made contact with the first [Molten Wall] and sliced it into pieces without a chance of resistance.

Kali and the others looked solemnly at the ease that the sword light cut through Andrea's first barrier.

Yasenia's eyes flashed with worry as the attack came closer and closer to Andrea.

Meanwhile, with a calm heart, Andrea stepped forward and swung the halberd from its backward position in a fast and powerful arc.

She used all the muscles of her body and back in a perfectly well-coordinated manner to increase the momentum of her attack. By the time her halberd was midway, the sword crescent had already sliced all her four defensive walls.

Elder Huo shook his head. 'She isn't strong enough to block it... Huh?'

The small bright red flame in Andrea's halberd tip suddenly burst into an inferno.

A red glow illuminated Andrea's place like a sparkling red Sun suddenly appeared. Then, Andrea's deep and powerful voice echoed around.

"[Star Searing Strike]."

*BOOOM!*

The two attacks collided, creating a whirlwind of flames that consumed a large area around Andrea.

Everyone held their breath as the shockwaves stopped.

Elder Huo looked interested as the flames dissipated, revealing the uninjured armored woman.

Although the magma armor around her had minor cuts, they didn't even reach her second armor.

Everyone was stunned into speechlessness. 'She resisted that attack!? How?'

Those knowledgeable about Intents were even more flabbergasted. 'She stopped an intent-coated attack without intents herself and having less cultivation level? Who the hell is this monster?'

Although they couldn't differentiate Andrea's cultivation, the aura she gave was

Andrea looked up and spun her halberd once, stopping when it became vertical. "Good sword. However, it wasn't able to penetrate my defenses. I hope Elder Huo will keep his word."

Elder Huo lifted an eyebrow and caressed his beard. "Not bad. Although I didn't go all out, you could block it with a lot of ease. Even If I had gone full strength, you would have probably succeeded. Well, I'm not someone who breaks promises. We'll probably see each other soon."

Then, he stood on his sword and left.

Andrea looked around, making people retreat a step involuntarily.

After giving everyone a warning look, she dissipated all her skills and fell back down into the house.

As soon as Andrea landed, she felt Yasenia's large head landing beside her. Andrea turned to look at her and smiled tenderly.

She also removed her armor and spread her arms to hug the giant dragon's head. "Good girl, now there aren't any more people who will bother us. You can continue your transformation in peace."

Yasenia growled weakly and opened her mouth slowly to lick Andrea tenderly. Andrea chuckled as the tongue larger than her body licked her.

Meanwhile, Evelyn clicked her tongue. "They took the pill and the weapon. So shameless. It thought they would return them and then speak about cooperation between our powers."

Kali snorted. "I expected something like that, so I don't really care. The pill I gave them was an experimental pill I created in my free time. Its name is [Ambient Cleaning Pill]."

Kali chuckled and sat beside Yasenia's head to pat her as they spoke. "I took inspiration from Yasenia's cleaning jades. Surprisingly, it ended up in the Heaven rank, but its utility is very limited."

Cecile asked, "What does it do exactly?"

Kali explained. "It makes the room where you place it smell good. It can also hide odors and, because it is in the Heaven rank, it can cover huge rooms. You can place the pill in an inconspicuous corner, and the whole room will be very fragrant no matter what you do inside."

They looked speechlessly at the fox, feeling that she truly was too… foxy.

Kali saw their reaction and chuckled. "Don't look at me like that. If you think closely, it is very useful. You can hide the smell of ambient poisons of lower levels than it and the smell of any dangerous substances. You can hide the smell of powerful treasures. You can also hide the smell of assassins in one room to make an ambush against a person. There are plenty of uses; you have to be creative."

They all blinked twice and then got thoughtful. After Kali explained it, although it was underwhelming for a heaven-ranked treasure, it could be pretty valuable in the right situation.
